No, false potato beetles do not do the same harm as potato beetles do. The insect in question (Leptinotarsa juncta) feeds upon the perceived weeds in the Solanaceae family of nightshades: ground cherry, horse-nettle, husk tomato, and woody nightshade. The potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) contrastingly is known as a serious agricultural pest of eggplants and tomatoes.
